You Like Calling Me Senior Sister, or Do You Like Your Senior Sister?!

Night fell.

The evening breeze stirred gently.

Clouds and mist curled around them, dreamy and ethereal.

The sly moon hid behind the clouds, quietly watching the young man and woman below.

Looking closer,

the Cold and Aloof Girl's pretty face was flushed. Her clear eyes had gone dazed, their chilly gaze melting like water. Like autumn waters, they reflected the young man's figure, and her eyes could no longer hold anyone else...

At that moment,

her shape quietly began to change.

It was gradually becoming Ye Changfeng's shape.

"Senior Sister Lu?"

A voice rang in her ears.

The Cold and Aloof Girl slowly came back to herself. She lifted her eyes to look at the young man before her, and her pretty face suddenly flushed...

Mmm~

He was kind of handsome.

Ye Changfeng stood tall and lean, dressed in flowing white robes, his black hair falling to his shoulders, his brows like swords and his eyes bright as stars.

The moonlight cast a faint smile over his handsome face. His passionate eyes, the sort that made even a dog feel cherished, stayed fixed on Lu Xueqi, their fervor impossible to hide.

"I, I..."

The Cold and Aloof Girl had begun to stammer.

She was an innocent young woman, cool and reserved by nature, with no idea how to handle romance. Her master had never taught her about this, waah...

Lu Xueqi nervously clutched the sides of her skirt.

Her pretty face was scarlet, and she didn't dare meet Ye Changfeng's clear gaze. She was afraid she'd fall for him on the spot...

After all,

they weren't even on the same level.

Ye Changfeng was her future husband, and he'd also rescued her in a heroic moment. Now they were meeting properly beneath the moonlight, and he was giving her that gaze, the sort that made even a dog feel cherished, as he responded as though confessing his feelings...

Who could withstand that?!

At that moment,

Lu Xueqi's brain was about to short-circuit.

In her daze, she couldn't even figure out what to say. She stammered like a Human-Machine Girl...

"Heh."

Ye Changfeng chuckled softly.

He couldn't resist leaning closer and raising both hands. Under the Human-Machine Girl's bewildered gaze, he gave her soft cheeks a vigorous squeeze.

Naiqi was so cute.

"You..."

The Human-Machine Girl's pretty face turned faintly red.

She huffed and slapped Ye Changfeng's hands away.

If you want to talk, then talk!

Why are you putting your hands on me?

...Could it be that you were the one who wouldn't say anything?!

Lu Xueqi took an indignant step back.

Her clear eyes seemed to turn cool again, and she spoke at a normal pace. "My injuries are almost healed."

Her eyes and tone sounded cold.

But...

That was only if you ignored her flushed cheeks.

Who ever saw someone make a stern remark with a red face?

Ye Changfeng smiled softly.

He shook his head and asked, "Could Senior Sister Lu keep my identity a secret?"

"Keep it a secret..."

Lu Xueqi knew he meant his identity.

She just didn't understand.

Why did he need to keep it secret? Wouldn't it be better to just tell everyone?

"I can."

Lu Xueqi nodded.

Then she hesitated, curious, as if she wanted to ask something.

Clearly, she wanted to know why Ye Changfeng was hiding his identity.

Ye Changfeng noticed the Human-Machine Girl's curiosity.

He explained, "There are spies from the Demonic Cult in the Qingyun Sect. If my identity is exposed, I'm afraid it'll cause a lot of trouble..."

"What?!"

Lu Xueqi was stunned.

There were Demonic Cult spies in the Qingyun Sect?!

How...

How could that be possible?!

She stared at Ye Changfeng, shocked.

Ye Changfeng glanced around, then reached out and led Lu Xueqi farther away. "Let's find somewhere to sit and talk."

At that,

Lu Xueqi froze for a moment.

She lowered her eyes to where her hand was clasped in Ye Changfeng's, and her pretty face reddened again...

Still,

she didn't pull away.

She simply let Ye Changfeng lead her along.

Like a Human-Machine Girl...

Ye Changfeng led Lu Xueqi to sit on some nearby steps. A barrier there blocked their figures from view.

Then,

Ye Changfeng explained, "The Demonic Cult Assassin managed to sneak into Moon Gazing Platform some time ago. The spy must have passed along our Qingyun Sect's patrol routes. Otherwise, there's no way to explain how the Demonic Cult Assassin slipped into the Seven Peaks without anyone noticing..."

Lu Xueqi froze for a moment.

As she listened to Ye Changfeng's revelations, great waves suddenly surged through her heart.

For a moment, she even forgot to ask Ye Changfeng to let go.

"Do Martial Uncle Head and the others know about this?"

Lu Xueqi couldn't help asking.

Ye Changfeng paused thoughtfully.

He held the Cold and Aloof Girl's slender hand as he explained:

"Martial Uncle Head should know."

"As for the other Peak Master Uncles, they probably don't."

After all...

The spy was a Peak Master.

At that,

Lu Xueqi felt relieved.

She thought it over carefully and realized that the assassination a little over a month ago really had been suspicious. The Demonic Cult seemed to have rushed in, but they'd clearly been prepared...

How could anyone have planned an assassination like that so quickly?!

Without help from a spy, it would've been impossible!

Lu Xueqi fell silent.

Just then,

she came back to herself a little and lowered her eyes to their hands, still clasped tightly together. Her pretty face flushed as she asked in a barely audible voice:

"Could you let go of me?"

"Hm?"

Ye Changfeng seemed to have only just noticed.

He smiled and released her hand.

"Can I ask you something?"

Lu Xueqi seemed to have thought of something. She blinked her cool eyes and crouched beside him, looking at Ye Changfeng curiously.

"What is it?"

Ye Changfeng raised an eyebrow.

"Your cultivation..."

Lu Xueqi pressed her lips together slightly.

Her eyes were full of curiosity.

"My cultivation?"

Ye Changfeng raised his brows and considered it. "I should be able to break through to Late Shangqing before long."

He'd been consolidating his Late Shangqing cultivation for a while. If he could get the First Volume of the Heavenly Book from the Blood Dripping Cave on Kongsang Mountain later, then breaking through to Late Shangqing would come naturally...

"Huh?!"

The Cold and Aloof Girl's eyes widened.

Her red lips parted of their own accord. Her astonished expression showed just how unsettled she was.

He was about to break through to Late Shangqing?

Ye Changfeng had only been cultivating for five years, hadn't he?!

This...

Lu Xueqi felt a little disheartened.

But then she thought about it.

The Heavenly Curtain had praised Ye Changfeng so highly that this rate of cultivation was only natural. Besides...

He was her future husband.

Lu Xueqi's heart filled with joy again.

But,

just then,

she suddenly thought of Tian Ling'er.

When Lu Xueqi remembered how Ye Changfeng and Tian Ling'er had been almost pressed together earlier that day,

she couldn't help feeling unhappy.

Was this jealousy?

Lu Xueqi wasn't sure.

After all, she was rather reserved.

She knew nothing about romance.

Right now, she only wanted to ask Ye Changfeng one thing.

"You..."

"Earlier, I asked why you like calling me Senior Sister, and you said you liked it? Do you like calling me Senior Sister, or..."

"Do you like your Senior Sister?!"
